A town has been described as "doss hole" and "grim" by its fed-up residents who say it constantly smells of cannabis and they are afraid to go out at night.
People living in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, feel positive about the investment put into the town in recent years but they say more is needed to tackle issues in the area.
Before boarding a train for a day out, residents Jo and Gaz said the area now looks "good" but added that improvements are often "all on the surface" because, after moving away from the station, the lack of investment is noticeable.
